After Simoom Sound, we headed to the cute little Echo Bay Marina, thinking we could resupply with fresh food and water. Not so much. The marina’s amenities weren’t great, so we’ll head to Port McNeill again.

But we did get to visit Billy Proctor’s Museum and talk with the famous Billy, who has authored several books about his life on the BC coast. He is nearly 90 and full of interesting stories. Anne’s 95-year-old dad used to pal around with him back in his fishing days, so it was very special that Anne could meet him and chat in person.

We also toured the small museum with Billy’s collections of treasures. Lots of cool old stuff in there. It’s worth a stop if you’re ever in the area.
